New best times!

Post by 383MERC »

The little comet was flying this past weekend! Went a new best of 10.51 @125.86 mph. Pulled a 1.449 60ft time on my little 26 x 8 1/2" tires! Not too bad. Ran a 10.551 on a 10.55 dial second round and lost! Damn tree. It will get you every time. Mark

Nice times. New best times are what makes going to the track like a drug. Makes you keep wanting more.

Thanks guys! Yeah, i'm not sure what's going on with my tree skills. I'm either right on the money or i'm in between a .060 & .070 all four days i ran this year. I just keep seeing this spot on the tree. I may have to adjust the car to this new spot i'm seeing.

Hi Mark, you know what can change your spot is the caltracs, If I remember right you fitted them not long ago. after years of knowing the right place to stage & leave with mine, I fitted caltracs & then it launched so different that it took over a year to get back to consistant RTs. John
